Oooo last time I forgot to put a disclaimer! Well here it is, I do not own The Corpse Bride, and it belongs to Tim Burton and WB. I do however own two shirts and a movie poster of it (haha) On to the story!
Victor turned around and was shocked by what he saw. Sitting on a log was a young woman. She had long curly Brown hair, fair skin, with rosy cheeks. She was wearing a wedding gown and was too familiar for Victor, but she looked different.
"Emily?" Victor asked the woman. The woman smiled.
"Yes, Victor it is me" She replied quite happily. "I had a feeling you would come today." Victor was too confused. Wasn't Emily a corpse? Why was she sitting right in front of him as a human?
"But how? I thought you were dead" Victor asked. Emily's smile seemed to sadden at the mention of her being dead.
"I was, but as you can see, at the moment I am alive" She said as if it were obvious.
"I can see that, but what I meant is ,how is it that you are alive?" Victor was getting more confused by the minute.
"First let's get inside somewhere, It is freezing" Emily said while shivering. Victor being the polite young man that he is gave her his coat, which she gladly accepted
The walk to Victor's home was quite. It seemed that Emily didn't notice how awkward it was because she was taking in every detail of her surroundings. Then out of the blue she asked something.
"How is Victoria?" She asked politely.
"She um, she is- can we talk about this when we get to my house?" Victor said uncomfortably. He did not like to speak about Victoria, it was hard for him.
"Well after I went back to the land of the dead, I was sad. After awhile I started to miss you, so I went to the elder and asked him if I could go upstairs. This time he said he could not only do that but he could also turn me human!" Emily explained to Victor excitedly. "So now as you can see, I am here and I am human." She said gesturing to herself.
"You mean you can turn the dead back alive?" Victor asked.
"Well I guess you can, I myself didn't know about it either until he told me. But there is a limit at how long I can stay human. I can only be one for a month" she said now turning sad.
"Oh, well at least you can have the chance of being alive again" Victor explained trying to cheer Emily up.
"I suppose so. Oh you never did tell me about Victoria. She isn't here, where is she?" Emily asked not know it would make Victor sad.
Victor then explained what had happened. Emily understood that he was sad about her dying, and that Victoria could not be visited, for she was not in the land of the dead.
Victor looked up and noticed that it was dark. "You can have the guest room while you're here. Tomorrow we could get you some clothes if you would like "Victor quietly said while gesturing to her ripped up gown.
"Thank you, Victor, darling." Victor couldn't help but smile when she said "darling".
That night Victor couldn't help but feel just a little bit happy that Emily was here. He knew that he still loved her the moment he seen her again. She was still breath takingly beautiful, if not just even more.
That night, for the first time in weeks, Victor did not have a nightmare.
In the other room the Emily was talking to a Maggot.
"Do you think he still loves me?" she asked it hopefully.
"Of course he still does. Who wouldn't he love you? Remember, he was going to kill himself for you"
"Yes I remember, but his wife has just died! He probably wouldn't even think of dating me" Emily said sadly. "I mean if I were him I would be locked in a room crying."
"Well you aren't him, and for the last time, he still loves you" the Maggot said starting to get annoyed.
"Well a lot can happen in a year" Emily said, and with that she blew out the candle that was lighting the room. "Oh, and you can't sleep in my head, because I am a live now"
Well that was also short. I tried to write a long chapter but it just doesn't work out! I can't help it!Well send what you think. I don't mind flames.
